Chill everyone. The day of the pilotless/operatorless UAV is upon you. So it may be Joe 90 in his 'black' garrett that will be getting the gongs ! How and who says so ? Andrew Wilson of BAE Systems, Air Systems Division, the Autonomous Systems and Future Capability (air) branch is quoted as saying about his new UAV's "These are not remotely piloted vehicles - they are truly autonomous operating air vehicles." ...... " The skills needed to be taught for these vehicles are more in mission planning and monitoring, not in control of a joy stick."
